Weight, hormones, and fertility are deeply connected. Dr. Maiza Tusimin recently explored this complex link as a featured speaker at the IBC Malaysia 2026 Metabolic & Bariatric Summit, held at Sunway Medical Centre Tower A.
Taking the stage at the Ginger Rainforest Hall, her session tackled a critical topic: “Obesity, PCOS and Fertility: Breaking the Metabolic Cycle Before and After Bariatric Surgery”.
For many women, obesity and PCOS create a frustrating loop that makes conceiving incredibly difficult. Dr. Maiza shared expert insights on how breaking this stubborn metabolic cycle, often with the strategic intervention of bariatric surgery, can successfully reset a woman’s reproductive system and help restore her hormonal balance. Bridging the gap between metabolic health and obstetrics gives women the best possible chance at starting a family.
